2013 is the Year of the Snake according to Chinese astrology. Today I felt inspired to create a snake ring. You know the kind - simple coils around your finger. But I wanted to create something a little different, a twist (I know, don't groan at the pun) on the usual snake ring. This is my first attempt at creating a hammered ring. And the coil goes onto the side of the finger to have the snake almost pounce at you. The way it's been designed you can have the snake head at the base of your finger or have it sit at the top. Either way, it begs for attention! I also hammered a hole for the eye and inserted a raw black diamond with sterling silver accent. This ring, well, I'm keeping it but you can always contact me if you'd like to order one for yourself to bring you extra luck for 2013! Happy Year of the Snake!
